Simpson, at Pendleton on Thursday, 4tb inst., in tbe 88th year of ber age On Friday afternoon her remains were laid to rest at her old homestead, three miles northeast of Pen dleton, in the presence of a large con course of sorrowing friends, Rev. 8. H Zimmerman conducting the funeral ser vices. Mm Simpson was a daughter of Zacha ria Toliaferro. who emigrated to this Slate shortly after the close of the R9vola tlonary war. He first settled In Colombia but removed m old Picken?ville and nrao ticed law in Washington District. When this District was divided into Greenville and Pendleton Districts be removed to Pendleton and purchased by grant from the 8tate the -"iluable homestead upon which he ?esided until his death. This homestead b? devised to his daughter, Mrs. Simpson. Upon lt she was born in 1808, and upon it she resided all ber life, and up on it ber body has been laid to rest until the resunection morn. Mrs Simpson joined the Episcopal church wlion a girl. After her father's dontb, when still ayoung girl, she changed her membbrship to the old Linn Metho dist church, near tbe present Five Forks. In 1836 ehe married Maj. R. F. Simpson, ot Laurens, S C. Soe accompanied her distinguished husband to Washington, D C, when ie was a member of Congress from this District, and for years enjoyed unusual facilities in refined society and as sociations, After her marriage she and ber three nisters, Mrs. Dr Broyles, Mrs Col. Tavlcr and Mrs. Dr Miller and a few others founded the Methodist church at Pendleton, of which church she was a con stant, devoted and consistent member for sixty year?? In paving tbis tribute to our departed venerable friend we feel and realize that our pen la not capable of doing her mem ory jnsticiu We have known her since our childhood, and remember our first visit to ber hospitable home. Ten yearB bnve elapsed since we last had the pleasure of greeting ber. She was in Andersen visiting ber venerable oister, Mrs Dr. Broyles, a ad when we called upon ber she presented ns with two files of vnry old paper?, one of which was the old Pendle ton Messenger. We were just staningour career a* au bumble, journalist, and well do we remember ber kind words of ad vice. Since Ito foundation the INTELLI GENCER was always ber favorite, paper, and up to ber la-it hours she anxiously awaited It- coming Mrs. 8ia psou was no common woman. She was endowed with unusual intellectual abilities, great er.&rgy and a dtcided pur puse in life, but withal was kind to tbe poor, attecliv-and comforting to the dis tressed and afflicted, and unusually hos pitable in aer ?ioma, where all who came had a welcome. We sometimes feel that it is natur i! for an aged person to oie, where abe has lived a long and blessed life in the lervice of ber God. And when old age cornea on with its eorrow and pain, we almost feel that death ls a weicome gueet, Decaase the fruit ia ripe and ready and must te gathered in its season. And yet it is Had to gatu*-r around the grave of tbe aged; w e so much miss them and their wise counsel and experience. The de ceased had been ready and prepared for a long time to die, and frequently expressed the desire to be at rest, but always ea-d, not hers but God's will be done. She leaves onlv two children, Col. R. VV.Simp son and Mrs Mary S Williams, who re sides in Tennessee. With these a wide circle of re latives and friends will cherish her memory until death calls for them. Thc Closing Exercises of Hopewell School. ANDERSON, 8 C., June 8,1896. MR ED::TOR: Your correspondent ac cepted au invitation to accompany tbe "Anderson Cornet Band," which bad an engagement to furnish muMc for the clos ing exerolssa of Mr. L. M.

Fried cbioken, old fa-bioced bis cuit, io tact everything to tempt the taste aud app?tits or a hungry city boy. The good madame asked one of the boya to thauk the good Lord for the bountv that waB before them, but the graceless Hoamp retuned^ for fear, I suppose, that the otner boys would u ot at tba tried cbickcn before he got through witb the thanks. After supper we repaired to the Behool house, where a otago had been erected on the outside and seats arranged for the au dience In a short while the exercises were opened by a spirited march by tbe band. Tnea the various dialogues, plays, fd i ces, etc., etc., were presented to a large and appreciative audience. At the close ol each plav, otc., music was rendered by tbe band. Aul right here, Mr Editor, let m. say, by way of parenthesis, tbat in all tm experience) which bas been extendive along this li ne, I never saw a better be haved or a nore courteous assemblage ot people. Not a jar in the entertainment, not an unpleasant word spoken; every one seemed to have come to ei j >y themselves and to makn the recollection of the occasion a pleasant ri emory.

Tt e young ladies and gentleman who took purl in this entertainment de serve 'be credit and the thanks of the community for the pleasant evening spent.

We want to make this a regular red letter June for ourselves and our customers. TO RUM OFF : We offer one lot of Wash Dress Goods we have been sell ing at 12 1-2 and 15c, for 8 l-3c. This includes a great va riety of styles and patterns-most of. them are the first goods offered at the commencement of the season. One lot, which has been considered as extra values for 10c, now at 6 1-4 and 7c. There is no mistake about this be ing a bargain. Seeing them is being convinced. One lot of 5c. offerings. Many of them cost us more than that, but we have had them long enough, and have put the prices at right figure to move them. We are offering many Wool Dress Goods at less than New York cost. Why do we do this ? Because it doesn't pay to carry Dress Goods over from one season to another. Goods carried ovei never bear a profit, and we think it best to pock et our loss now and have the use of our money for Fall busi ness. This has been a grear Millinery season with us.
